About Wallscourt Farm Academy

Wallscourt Farm Academy is clearly a popular choice among local families. In the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 80 applications for just 59 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.36. All 50 first-preference applicants were offered a spot, which suggests that for those who list it first, the odds are good. Parent satisfaction data isn't available here, but the level of demand alone signals strong local confidence. The school is a mixed, non-faith primary for ages 4 to 11, led by headteacher Charlotte Black. It currently has 404 pupils on roll, just shy of its capacity of 420, so it's running very close to full. With 18.8% of pupils eligible for free school meals, the intake is reasonably diverse in socioeconomic terms.

Academically, Wallscourt Farm performs well above the local average. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, 83% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a South Gloucestershire average of just 61%. That puts the school 4th out of 69 primaries in the local authority, comfortably inside the top 10% nationally. The average scaled scores are strong too: 108 in maths and 107 in reading. At the higher standard, 45% of pupils achieved that level in maths, 28% in reading and 21% in writing. Ofsted last inspected the school in a graded visit in 2016, awarding an overall Good rating, and a subsequent ungraded inspection in 2021 confirmed it 'remains Good'. The early years provision was rated Outstanding, which is a notable strength for families with younger children.

The school offers a solid range of facilities, including an art studio, library, ICT suite, music rooms, playing fields and a gymnasium. Sports on offer include football, cricket, rounders, dance and netball, and there are clubs for drama, eco activities and choir. For families with children who have additional needs, the SEND provision is comprehensive, covering dyslexia, moderate learning difficulties, speech and language needs, hearing impairment, physical disability, social and emotional mental health, and autistic spectrum disorder. There is no nursery or sixth form on site. If you're looking for an Outstanding-rated alternative nearby, Bromley Heath Infant School is 3.8 km away. Overall, this is a high-performing, oversubscribed primary that suits families who value strong academic outcomes and a broad range of enrichment activities within a supportive, inclusive setting.
